Hi, I do not know what sound card that you are using but I was able to
record my tapes with either gramofile or Audacity.  But with gramofile,
you need to kill the kmix program and use xmix instead and select in
xmix the LineIn channel as the recording channel.  Then run gramofile. 
When you try to record, there should be indicator bars that are drawn on
screen indicating that the program is recording.  Audicity can do it but
it is more complex and is a bit more taxing on your system than
gramofile.
